Get In The Game!

Hang on, this post isn’t just for gamers.

It’s usually more fun to get in the game, than simply being a spectator. It’s way more fun to play the game in the video above than to watch it being played. I like playing soccer way more than watching soccer being played. It’s more fun to kick the ball myself, work through the chaos with a team and feel the air rush past you than to sit on a couch and watch someone else having fun.

This might seem like a simple concept. But I think this applies to many spheres of our lives, not just sports or video games.

It applies to leadership. It’s a lot easier to be lead than to lead. When possible, take the initiative to get in the game and lead – you’ll be challenged and there’s usually guaranteed hard times, but it will be worth it in the end.

It applies to ending poverty. If your heart is burdened for poverty in the world, you don’t need to spectate and watch others fix it. You can get in the game and be a part of the solution.

It applies to serving Jesus. It’s quite easy to go to church, get served, go home. It’s a lot more awkward to get in the game and serve, give back, but it’s soooo worth it! I’ll tell you how the video below applies next week – until then, may it serve as an inspiration.
